This presentation will review the difference between a roommate and a lodger. You need a license for one but not the other. We will contrast both with normal tenancies and with special situations. We will explain:

  • Separate vs. joint-and-several rental agreements.
  • Sanitary code requirements with shared kitchens and bathrooms.
  • What makes a lodging house?
  • Licensing and zoning restrictions on lodging houses.
  • Agency as leaseholder and congregate housing.
  • And more!

Attendees will leave knowing how to compliantly rent to different individuals or groups. This helps all kinds of households get and keep affordable housing.

Rooming houses come in all shapes and sizes, but what are the differences between roommates, a lodging house and a standard rental?

Part of this presentation will be given by Peter Vickery, Esq.. Attorney Vickery practices law in Western Massachusetts where he focuses on landlord-tenant law (representing landlords in Housing Court) and discrimination defense (representing business owners in the Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination). He graduated from Oxford University (Jesus College) with a BA in Modern History; obtained his Post-Graduate Diploma in Law from the University of the West of England in Bristol; his JD from Boston University School of Law; and his Masters in Public Policy & Administration from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. Attorney Vickery served one term on the Governor's Council (the elected 8-member body that approves or vetoes the governor's choice of judges in Massachusetts) and on the State Ballot Law Commission. As Legislative Affairs Counsel for MassLandlords he drafts bills, bill summaries, and testimony in the area of housing law, and writes amicus briefs in cases that have strategic significance for rental-property owners.
